Have you planned your funeral? Few of us have. We like to think of death as something far off in the future. Then once we do acknowledge death, sometimes we fall into "You Only Live Once" thinking and fill our time with whatever pleases us. But God never promised us a long life! He has our days numbered, and only He knows when that number is up and we'll be called to be with Him. In this message, Jill Briscoe cautions us to avoid the "Minute Trap" and offers us a better perspective on what this life really is and how we should use the time God has given us. This is the 4th teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

We've all been on both sides of hurtful words. We've insulted and been insulted, gossiped and been gossiped about. We've spoken words that have been obscene, profane, idle, or unkind. It's no wonder the Bible is full of references to the tongue - so much destruction and yet so much encouragement, all from one little member of the body! In this message, Jill Briscoe gives us an acrostic of "tongue" with examples of the tongue's destructive characteristics, as well as their opposites, so we can avoid the "Mouth Trap." This is the 3rd teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

We live in a culture that encourages greed. We feel the need to "keep up with the Joneses" and own things that we don't necessarily want or need. We are lured in by the "greed cheese" that Satan puts in the "Money Trap." But everything we have isn't even ours - it all belongs to God, and He entrusts us with what He knows we can handle. In this message, Jill Briscoe teaches about the role money should play in our lives and gives us practical and challenging advice on how we should view and be good stewards of money. This is the 2nd teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

When little troubles appear in our lives, we can be surprised and wonder why God would allow such things to happen to us. Such thinking reveals that we may have fallen into the "Me Trap": Satan tempts us with "easy cheese" promising an easy life. But God never promised that life would be comfortable! In this message, Jill Briscoe shows us how the troubles and pain in our lives are actually a way God molds us into Christ-like people. This is the 1st teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

You probably don't need to be convinced about how important it is to share life with others. To be friendless in a friendless world is a frightening thing. But have you ever struggled to develop meaningful and precious friendships? In this message, Jill Briscoe teaches from Ecclesiastes 4 to discuss being vulnerable in our relationships and how friendship can deeply impact our lives. This message is included in two different series: The Heart and Soul of Friendship and Healing Broken Relationships.

As someone who is made in the image of God, you have a better understanding than you might think about His longing desire for companionship and friendship. Are You a Friend of God? explores Scripture that reveals God's friendships with His people. Enoch was God's walking and talking friend, Job was His hurting friend, and Moses was His waiting friend. What kind of friend are you? This message will shift how you think about your relationship with God and challenge you to identify, and grow in yourself, the characteristics that God is looking for in a friend.

Have you ever witnessed someone growing in their faith and then suddenly there is a horrible spiritual attack? Jesus warned there is an enemy of the harvest - crows that are bent on snatching the seeds scattered in the fields before strong roots can take hold. We may not like to think about it, but Satan is eager to discourage and snatch away believers. In this message, Jill Briscoe encourages all the saints to get in the fight, disciple those around you, and help people grow strong roots in their faith. This is the third message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

It's easy to see when a garden needs watering. The plant leaves begin to wilt, the ground becomes dry, and cracks appear. And if the plants aren't tended to, they're at risk of withering and dying. It's the same with people who need Jesus. In this message, Jill Briscoe helps us understand what's at risk and asks us to dedicate ourselves to impacting people in our sphere of influence. This is the second message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

Can an orchid grow in a putrid and smoldering garbage pile? Yes, and it has. That's the power of life within the seed. And so it is with the Good News. Are you all out for Jesus, scattering news of Him wherever you go, no matter how dirty or unwelcoming the circumstance might be? In this message, Jill Briscoe encourages us to believe that God's Word will always find good soil. It's up to us to take advantage of every opportunity so that the fields will be ready for someone to come along and harvest to the glory of God. This is the first message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

Being in a valley isn't proof that God has left us or that He doesn't care. God is our shepherd. He is leading us, protecting and correcting us. This is how we know God's love for us, through his action in our lives. In the final installment of Jill's 8-message series God’s Love for Us, we learn that God's rod corrects us, like He corrected David after his sin with Bathsheba, but His staff comforts us through these corrections. Loving discipline shows God's love for us. Psalm 23
